Chapter 159 Studying the Jade Pendant
Chapter 159 Studying the Jade Pendant
Lin Yuwei held the jade pendant, the surging power rushing through her body, causing her brows to frown and beads of sweat to appear on her forehead.
Shen Mo watched anxiously from the side, his eyes full of concern: "Yuwei, don't be anxious, take your time." His voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.
Lin Yuwei nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the surging power in her body. The cave was filled with a tense and quiet atmosphere, with only the occasional sound of dripping water breaking the tranquility.
After a long time, Lin Yuwei slowly opened her eyes with a trace of fatigue in her eyes: "Shen Mo, the power of this jade pendant is too strong, I seem to be able to only touch the tip of the iceberg."
Shen Mo gently held her hand and gave her strength: "Don't be discouraged, let's explore slowly together."
They lit a bonfire in the cave, and the warm firelight illuminated their faces.
"In those memories that suddenly appeared, I saw a lot of past events about this jade pendant." Lin Yuwei's gaze became distant, as if she was lost in deep memories.
Shen Mo moved closer to her and listened attentively.
"It seems that a long, long time ago, there was a mysterious family guarding this jade pendant. They used its power to protect the peace of the area. But later, disputes arose within the family, and the power of the jade pendant got out of control, bringing endless disasters." Lin Yuwei's voice echoed in the cave.
Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is our fate with this jade pendant. We need to make it play a positive role again."
Lin Yuwei nodded and her eyes fell on the jade pendant again.
At this moment, there was a slight rustling sound outside the cave. Shen Mo stood up alertly, motioned Lin Yuwei to stay where she was, and walked carefully towards the cave entrance.
Outside the cave, moonlight shone on the ground, outlining the shadows of the trees. Shen Mo looked around carefully, but found nothing.
When he was about to turn around and go back to the cave, a black shadow jumped down from the tree and rushed towards him. Shen Mo reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and started fighting with the black shadow.
Lin Yuwei heard the noise outside and was worried. She couldn't help but come to the cave entrance to check. She saw Shen Mo fighting with a masked man in black.
She wanted to help, but was afraid of causing trouble.
Just when Shen Mo was gradually gaining the upper hand, several men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded him.
Lin Yuwei was extremely anxious and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
The man in black did not answer, but intensified his attack.
Shen Mo fought hard, but he was outnumbered and wounds gradually appeared on his body.
Seeing this, Lin Yuwei no longer hesitated. She picked up a burning branch and rushed into the battle.
The men in black were disrupted by her sudden joining, and Shen Mo took the opportunity to counterattack and knocked down several enemies.
However, the man in black did not seem to give up and continued to cling to him.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from a distance. The man in black heard the flute sound, stopped attacking instantly, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei were breathing heavily, full of confusion.
"What is going on? Why did those men in black suddenly retreat?" Lin Yuwei asked in confusion.
Shen Mo shook his head: "I don't know, but I feel there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."
They returned to the cave and could not calm down for a long time.
"No matter what, we can't give up." Lin Yuwei said firmly.
Shen Mo looked at her and nodded: "Yes, we can definitely find a way to control the power of the jade pendant."
After all this, both of them were exhausted. They leaned against the wall of the cave and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the cave. After Lin Yuwei and Shen Mo woke up, they continued to study the jade pendant.
Lin Yuwei closed her eyes and tried to feel the power of the jade pendant. This time, she seemed to feel a warm and peaceful energy.
"Shen Mo, I think I have some idea." Lin Yuwei said excitedly.
Shen Mo came over: "Tell me quickly."
Lin Yuwei opened her eyes: "I think we can't control it in a forceful way, but we need to establish a spiritual connection with it."
Shen Mo thought for a moment: "A spiritual connection? How do we do that?"
Lin Yuwei smiled slightly: "Let's calm down first, put aside all distracting thoughts, and then try to convey our thoughts and wishes to the jade pendant."
The two followed Lin Yuwei's method and tried to communicate with the jade pendant again.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just when they were about to give up, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint light...
